On the day of the winter solstice, Hekske (the little witch) had a vivid dream about her friends the wolves of the Gugu Peak, the enigmatic mountain in the Godeanu ridge which mysteriously disappears every now and then. She looked at Falke (the 10 year old witch apprentice) who was still sleeping underneath their cozy moss blanket … and smiling while sleeping. A few minutes later Falke woke up and enthusiastically told Hekske that she had a vivid dream about their friends the wolves of the Gugu Peak. Now that was strange. And the next nights it became even stranger as the witches kept on dreaming about the Carpathian wolves, every night in a different location and every night a bit closer to the witch’s forest, leaving Transylvania and passing by lake Balaton before crossing the snowy peaks of the Styrian Alps. Night after night, their collective dream became more and more vivid while Hekske and Falke snuggled close to each other under the warm moss blanket in the rainy and soggy winter forest. After passing through the Black Forest and crossing the River Rhine, the wolves ran day and night until they finally reached the Dender river, which they followed downstream while enduring the lashing rains and gale force winds. The normally gentle flow of the Dender river had transformed into a wild torrent which had flooded the entire valley.
That morning Hekske and Falke woke up very early as they sensed that their friends were now really close by. And just before sunrise, the girls heard the all-pervading howl of a wolf in the distance. The elated witches ran through the mud of the soggy woods, and encountered the wolves at the edge of the beech forest. They gave a long fluffy hug to all the ebullient wolves. When the initial euphoria had abated, the girls noticed how thin and emaciated the wolves were. They hadn’t eaten for a whole week. 
Hekske and Falke took the wolves straight to the nymph’s pond, where they all took a bath in the frigid water. Despite the cold, the water was really pleasant and they stayed for a really long time in the pool, playing with each other all the time. They hadn’t even noticed that meanwhile the rain had stopped. Finally, they decided to get out of the water. The winter sun had broken through the clouds and the witches and wolves dried their bodies in the soft sunlight. Miraculously, the wolves suddenly looked strong and well-fed again, and their fur was glistening and fluffy.
The Carpathians wolves stayed in the witch’s forest for over a week, while the temperatures plunged below zero and an immaculately white snow carpet covered the witch’s forest, creating an enchanted atmosphere. During the freezing cold nights, the wolves and the witches huddled together and kept each other warm. And every day, they took a collective bath in the nymph’s pond and every time the wolves came out of the water stronger and fiercer than the day before.
Finally, the wolves were strong enough and time had come to return to the Carpathians. Hekske and Falke gave one last hug to all their fluffy friends, promising to visit them back in Dacia next summer, on the slopes of the enigmatic Gugu Peak which mysteriously disappears every now and then …

Sofacast 104 | Nico Tober

Coaxed forth like the attention you give when the thunder cracks across a dark sky.
Choosing to flow with the feeling when it hits... into the storm, into the curious vortex.
Memories of warmth, the hint of a light flickering in and calling you.

There is more time between the edges of these grooves. Time for you and I to slip in and discover these places within ourselves.

One hour of sublime and textured slow house - originally aired on The Vortex on c89.5fm in Seattle.

Wuza Waves #104 - Matija - SCHATTENREISE

After a long and epic flight over the Caribbean Sea, the 3 European witches touched down near an idyllic waterfall in the middle of a lush green rainforest. They were immediately spellbound by the myriad of unknown song birds, like the yigüirro and the quetzal. This place felt like a true garden of Eden.
Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the young witch apprentice) immediately took a dive in the crystal clear water of the pond, while Quintine took her time to observe the exotic plants and birds around the pond, and she was especially fascinated by the glasswing butterflies. She had never seen anything like this. After this, she slipped out of her immaculately white dress and joined her friends in the cool water of the pond. For the first time in 415 years, she felt completely relaxed (actually, she had just woken up from a 414 year hibernation to escape the persecutions of the 17th century). Gradually, the witches became so immersed in the lush & lazy vibe of this tropical forest, that they lost their sense of space and time.
It was already late in the afternoon when they got out of the water, dried their hair and went for a walk in the forest where they found a wooden cabin. They were greeted by a smiling shaman and his 8 apprentices. He explained he’s a jaguar shaman and it appeared that a prowl of jaguars was actually staying on and off near the cabin. The witches sensed that this place was full of energy. The shaman took his time to explain all the secrets of the forest while preparing a healing potion. After sipping from the potion, the shaman apprentices prepared some ink and drew several mysterious symbols on the skin of the witches. Strangely, this filled the girls with a subtle mix of contrasting energies.
The mystic ceremonies lasted until dusk time, when Hekske and Falke suddenly felt very tired from the long flight and drifted away in a blissful sleep.
Quintine on the other hand, felt very energized and she spent the whole night in the charismatic company of the shaman. He showed her the way through the 12 realms of consciousness. It was a night which seemed to last several weeks… under the bright moon and stars

Hugel vs Toto la momposina - La verdolaga x Curura (Kai Black Edit)

Songuara proudly presents “Peace” — a deep, immersive collaboration between D-Nox and Elan Myles, where organic grooves meet meditative energy. At the heart of the track lies a hypnotic Eastern motif — subtle, soulful, and resonant like a distant memory carried by desert winds.

The release is elevated by two stunning remixes:
Newman (I Love) delivers a powerful club-ready remix, amplifying the pulse of the original while preserving its emotional gravity.
Nicolas Viana offers a warm, textured rework, gently expanding the original’s spiritual undertone into a dancefloor ritual.

"Peace" is not just a track — it’s a journey inward, a sonic sanctuary shaped for twilight hours and sun-kissed mornings alike.


Already supported by Elke Klejn, Jim Rider, Facundo Mohrr, Richie Hawtin, PAAX (Tulum), Nicolas Rada, MASSIO, Goldcap, Aiwaska, Megablast, Andy Moor, Ravin (Buddha Bar), Igor Marijuan, Fernando Ferreyra, DJ Zombi, Maxxim, Niki Sadeki, LADS, NOIYSE PROJECT, Ruben Mandolini, Ilias Katelanos, Mauro Masi, Tuxedo, Max Wexem, Fabri Lopez, Cream (PL), Viktop, Alexander Barabash, Elliot Moriarty, Urmet K, Julian Nates etc.

_________________________________

Chris Odium is a new face on the Dissident label roster, but he’s been a friend of the label (and on our musical radar) for a very long time! His deep, melodic releases on labels from Silk Music to Nuevadeep have delivered consistent inspiration and emotional moments for over a decade. His signature sound blurs lines between deep house, techno and progressive, and we’re really happy to welcome him to Dissident Music!

Augmented Reality soars with classic Detroit-style pad stabs, ethereal melodies, and whispered vox, all underwritten by a captivating Reese bassline and grooving drums. Emulated Emotions continues the story; led by a mesmerizing bassline and swung percussion, atmospheric pads and moody synths carry the vibe forward and level up the energy.

Both of these tunes are timeless yet modern, and we think you’ll love them as much as we do! Thanks as always for playing and charting, and stay tuned for more from Dissident Music!
